APOLLO-EU

APOLLO-EU (Alliance Platform for Liveable and Low-Carbon Communities in Europe) aims to support the Clean Bus Deployment Initiative (CBDI) uptake across the European Member States.

This platform brings together European transport authorities and operators with varying degrees of clean bus deployment know-how to boost and support the exchange of knowledge and expertise. APOLLO-EU project covers all kinds of clean vehicles, battery-electric, fuel cell, CNG, battery trolleys, and plug-in hybrids.

APOLLO-EU supports capacity building and ensures that the technical, procedural, and operational know-how on clean bus deployment is effectively and widely transferred beyond the circle of cities that can be considered front-runners in Europe. This is done through the Clean Bus Europe Platform, which offers European cities the opportunity to learn from cities that have already set up clean bus schemes through tools such as study visits and webinars. Furthermore, it will provide them with tailored technical assistance in the transition towards clean buses. Lessons learned from previous and current European key research projects like ZeEUSASSUREDJIVEEBSF_2, and ELIPTIC will be systematically assessed and shared to show the wide array of existing solutions related to clean bus technologies.

APOLLO-EU is a service contract by the European Commission and is coordinated by UITP - International Association of Public Transport. Project Partners include POLISFIT Consulting SrlRupprecht Consult GmbH, and Thinkstep AG.
